Enjoy this long chapter guys, it's hell to translate...
The next Saturday, Sonny is in a good mood. He's thrilled that his body has recovered from the surgery and he has managed to study, do paperwork at Common Ground and, most of all, follow through with Will's increasing sexual demands. He never feels like refusing. Will is making him crazy and he thinks that living together really has to be postponed for he would never have a second of sleep. The night before, Will had dinner at his parents, in order to patch things up and Sonny is optimistic. After all, the sun is bright, Will and he are in love and tonight is the concert. Will is going to pick him up late afternoon and Sonny takes great care of picking up clothes, remembering one of Will's remarks. He plans on striking him dumb and have Will be proud to be seen with him. He spends fifteen minutes fixing his hair, knowing perfectly well that Will's habit of fondling with it will ruin it in no time.
Will arrives a little early and Sonny, who was trying on his tenth shirt, hear Henderson calling. He finishes buttoning calmly and takes his vest. He spots Will as he walks downstairs. Will is gaping, eyes wide open and he looks so beautiful, Sonny stops mid-stairs. They stand frozen, drinking in each other's appearance and Sonny's heart is beating as fast as it did the time he first met Will. He goes to him and slips his hand in his saying "You're gorgeous." Will has a self-deprecating smile and answers "You're the breath-taking one. How did I manage and be with you ?" Sonny, touched, hugs him and whispers "By making me go to pieces. When I touch you, I can't think properly anymore. And by being awesome, all the time. I love you."
Sonny goes straight to the driver's side, in a resolute stride. He holds a hand to Will who smiles and doesn't move a finger. Sonny motions impatiently and looks at him defiantly. Will says "It'll cost you, a lot." Sonny says, beguiling "I have ways of paying you back." Will's smile widens and he answers "Then, it will be long…" Sonny feels his gut react and unconsciously grips the car's door handle "Your price will be mine. I'm feeling better and better. I wonder if you'll keep up…" The naked desire he reads in Will's eyes makes Sonny want to drop the concert idea and transform words into actions. But Will gives up and hands him the keys.
The concert is taking place outside a nearby town and they don't have a lot of time to talk as Will's phone rings. He answers "Hello ?… Oh, Hi! … Yea, we're headed there… Ah, too bad… Yes, yes… Let's say Thursday ?… OK, I'll tell him… See ya!" He turns to Sonny with a big grin "It was Adam. He can't go to the concert but Mel will be there. He says 'Have fun there!" Sonny takes advantage of having to focus on driving to keep a neutral expression. He's aware Will likes Adam and has forgotten to warn him. He decides not to spoil the evening though and looks for a space to park. There are plenty improvised parking lots, all full to the brim. He jams the car under a tree while Will sends a text. They get out, holding hands and walk to the fences. The security guards take off the lid of their water bottles and let them in. Will glances at his cell and smiles "Mel is there already. Next to the bar, of course! Look." He shows him the picture he just got. Abby and Mel are grinning, with Abby's hand doing rabbit ears to Mel. Sonny laughs and says "This is going to be a great evening."
The lawn is packed and they have to push their way in, elbowing a lot and having to watch their feet, not to be trampled on. Sonny has his arm around Will and doesn't notice his hitting someone's back. The guy turns and calls "Sonny ?" "Brian ?" Will wears his most polite smile and stops to wait patiently. Sonny appreciates Will's respect for his friendships, even though it's been a while since he heard of Brian. He decides to talk to him another day and yells " Have a good time, I'll phone you later!" Brian nods, looking set and barges off. Will thanks Sonny with a smile and offers "If you want to catch up with him tonight … He and I aren't too close… But…" Will's tone makes Sonny want to laugh out loud and he kisses his jealous boyfriend's hand. He hears a frantic cry "Sonny, Will, break it off and come kiss your lonely cousin!" A dizzy Abby is bouncing next to Mel. No Chad around, but she doesn't sound upset, so Sonny doesn't worry. "The boyfriends have deserted you ?" Mel nods and mimics, with a weird low voice "You see, Mel, it's important, it's business…" to which Abby replies, in a perfect Chad impersonation, contrasting nicely with her girlish Goldilocks appearance " But Abs, I promised my aunt and I didn't realize the concert was tonight and hey, Mel will be there!" Sonny asks Mel "Business as in ? What does he do for a living ?" Mel answers, surprised "You don't know ? He's working in a layer's office as an intern. He told me he met your father once or twice…" Sonny frowns "He had a business meal ?" "I don't really know…" The musicians having settled on stage strike a few chords and everyone claps and shouts. Sonny joins in, watching the undiluted happiness on his man's face.
The band is great and Sonny admires his boyfriend's musical tastes. He's not very picky himself, as he likes to dance more than to listen and soon enough, his legs and arms starts swaying around until Will clutches him and kisses him on the cheek "I love you!" he yells and Sonny squeezes him, whirling around. The next song is slower and couples begin to embrace next to them. He snuggle with Will as he's dreamt of doing for a long time and they waltz together, oblivious to time and other people. When the music stops, he opens his eyes and sees Mel stare at them with a look of envy. He detaches from Will, who is startled and looks at him reproachfully, and points to the girls "You want to be chivalrous ? Not everyone has their beloved with them tonight…" Will shakes his head and walks to Abby. Sonny takes Mel on a crazed dance, twirling her around and they crack up, while he secretly wonders if it was Adam he saw the other day at the firm.
